Default Antenna mast grounding question

I will be puting a intenna mast up on the roof, and I plan on
running a wire from the mast to a grounding rod. My house is grounded
via just the water pipe, as far as I can tell, no grounding rod connects
to my electrial service. Do I need to run a wire from the grounding rod
to my water pipe to prevent a grounding loop?

What size wire should I use from the mast to the rod? and from the rod
to the water pipe, if it is required?

Thanks!
